Green Earth Inc.
Trail Adoption |
In Autumn of 2008 Long Forestry and
Lumberjack Tree Care have adopted 2
thirty acre nature preserve owned
 by
Green Earth Inc. in Carbondale, IL.
The properties are called Green
Earth IV, the Fernlands and
Green Earth I. Fernlands
is is located south west of
Carbondale and contains a .6 mile
trail system, while GEI resides on
the east side of town on Park St.
GEI contains a 1 mile loop through
Oak/Hickory hardwoods and a
Sycamore/Ash bottom.
Our responsibility
to this preserve is to keep the
trail brochures stocked, the trails
clean and clear, the trash picked
up, and to report any problems to
the Green Earth leadership team. |
|
| Long Forestry also
has additional management goals for
these preserves. For example, we
will initially concentrate on
invasive species control and
wildlife management. |
Please v isit Green
Earth's website at
www.greenearthinc.org
and you
can contact Green Earth for
information about the properties,
how to donate or volunteer, or for
other information via email at

Erosion is an issue at Fernlands.
The landscape of the woods is
changing fast here. As
drainages grow larger the trail is
often relocated. |
 |
 |
|
Green Earth's Fernlands is equipped
with footbridges to cross drainages,
thanks to the work and donations of
Green Earth supporters. |
